CHILD SAFETY  
It makes a difference how and where you use  
your flat panel display  
As you enjoy your new product, keep  
these safety tips in mind  
The issue  
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are  
popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or  
installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer  
electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.  
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,  
speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
Tune into safety  
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV  
stand rated for the weight of your TV.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed  
instructions for proper use of this product.  
Don’t let children to climb on or play with  
entertainment system furniture and TVs.  
Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used  
as steps, such as a chest of drawers.  
Remember that children can become excited while  
watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life”  
TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it  
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.  
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that  
they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
Wall mounting  
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:  
One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight  
of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this  
manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, or  
ETL) as suitable for your TV.  
Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help  
from a professional installer.  
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is  
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be  
mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks.  
If you are unsure, ask a professional installer.  
TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount  
installation.

15 Servicing is required when your TV has been  
damaged in any way, such as the  
Safety information  
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid  
has been spilled or objects have fallen into  
your TV, your TV has been exposed to rain or  
moisture, does not operate normally, or has  
been dropped.  
Caution  
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power  
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does  
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete  
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat  
this safety feature.  
16 Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall  
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,  
extension cords, frayed power cords, or  
damaged or cracked wire insulation are  
dangerous. Any of these conditions could  
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically  
examine the cord of your TV, and if its  
appearance indicates damage or

constituting a risk of electric shock is present  
within your TV. This label is located on the back  
of your TV.  
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of  
your TV, and have the cord replaced with an  
exact replacement part by an authorized  
service person. Protect the power cord from  
physical or mechanical abuse, such as being  
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or  
walked upon. Pay particular attention to  
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the  
cord exits your TV.  
This symbol indicates that there are important  
operating and maintenance instructions in the  
literature accompanying your TV.  
Warning  
Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp  
containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these  
materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. For  
disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities  
17 Ensure that you connect the earth ground  
wire to prevent possible electric shock. If  
grounding methods are not possible, have a  
qualified electrician install a separate circuit  
breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by  
connecting it to telephone wires, lightening  
rods, or gas pipes.  
Important safety instructions  
1 Read these instructions.  
2 Keep these instructions.  
3 Heed all warnings.  
4 Follow all instructions.  
5 Do not use your TV near water.  
6 Clean the cabinet with a dry cloth only.  
18 The main plug is the disconnecting device.  
The plug must remain readily operable.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is  
connected to your TV, make sure that the  
antenna or cable system is grounded to provide  
some protection against voltage surges and  
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,  
provides information with respect to correct  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna  
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,  
location of the antenna-discharge unit,  
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install  
in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce  
heat.  
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized  
plug has two blades with one wider than the  
other. A grounding type plug has two blades  
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade  
or the third prong is provided for your safety.  
If the provided plug does not fit into your  
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement  
of the obsolete outlet.

for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these  
channels, you need a converter/descrambler  
box.  
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box,  
you can connect your cable TV directly to your  
TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box, you  
can connect your cable TV using an RF switch  
(not supplied). For more information about  
connecting a converter/descrambler box, contact  
your cable TV provider.  
For S-Video—Plug in the audio cables as  
described above, then plug one end of an  
S-Video cable into the S-Video ( 5) jack on  
the back of your TV, then plug the other end  
into the S-Video jack on the external signal  
source.  
Or  
For component video—Plug the Y, Pb, and  
Pr video cables into the COMPONENT (3)  
video jacks and the Audio L and Audio R  
cables into the COMPONENT (6) audio jacks  
on the back of your TV, then plug the other  
ends of the cables into the corresponding  
jacks on the external signal source.  
To connect cable TV without a  
converter/descrambler box:  
1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the  
coaxial jack on the back of your TV.  
Or  
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the  
cable TV wall outlet.  
To connect cable TV with a
